I'm using this patch:

I think driver changes between 2.1. and 16.1. are not relevant
for this problem (according to the cvs changelog).

Which kernel and which i2c version does you use?
I had similiar problems and I disabled kernel i2c modules and got
i2c-2.6.2 from http://www.lm-sensors.nu. No more problems since
that point. Don't forget to rename/delete the i2c header files in
the kernel source before re-compiling the driver.

What problems running the cvs driver?
